The best part of Pointe Orlando is that it was within walking distance to my hotel. They have two levels and large assortment of restaurants bars and shops. They even have a comedy club ant a cinema. I guess I'll have to say my favorite place there was the The Pub. II went there almost every day. read more

Pointe Orlando - Nice, quiet Saturday afternoon in late October. - Sports Bars Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Pointe Orlando is very nice but the parking garage absolutely sucks! The signage leaves a lot to be desired and it is general chaos when a show or movie lets out. Parking attendants directing people to park may help. read more

Pointe Orlando has yet to become a prime place to shop and dine. It has had its share of tenants and at this point there are more dining options than shoppings. With many store fronts closed, it does look like a ghost town most of the time. Parking just became a bit complicated with an annoying message loop announcing the payment options at the automated kiosk. It is confusing and can see many issues with overseas patrons. The dining options are varied and truly quality restaurants ranging from The Capital Grille to Johnny Rockets. read more

Its a cool place to walk around. Nice shops, really great restaurants, comedy clubs, movie theatre and regular theatre to check out. They also have a parking garage that is attached, so you don't need to find a place to park (But its pay) Sort of like a nice outdoor mall. If you are a tourist and want to kill some evening hours, it's a nice look. read more

Lots of expensive restaurants, huge expensive movie theater and main event entertainment. Not a whole lot of shops, mostly bars and restaurants. The other outlet malls on I-Drive are much bigger and better than this place! Not worth your time if vacationing in Orlando. read more

Traffic is really the only negative, I have for this place. Aside from the traffic everthing else is perfect. PO very cool spot lots of fun.

This was the place to be when I was growing up and I drive was still hustling and bustling. It's sad to see how empty it is now. There are noticeably less crowds in all facets at Pointe. I'm still happy that the Regal is around because I love watching movies there and it's so easy to get in and out of there! read more

Pointe Orlando is a very exciting outdoor shopping center with lots of mall staple stores, as well as unique restaurants and bars. But be careful, because there's a lot of tourists! The Good: Plenty to do:Pointe Orlando is one of those rare shopping centers where you can spend your whole day. There's plenty of interesting places to shop, cool themed restraunts, and the interesting WonderWorks museum-type attraction. Nightlife friendly: There's plenty of places to go after dark, including the deliciously unique BB King's. Great structure!: Although Pointe Orlando is all outside, there's plenty of shade, and it is a dual-level complex, so there's no long hikes involved. The Bad: Parking: If you want close parking, be prepared to shell out osme money for the garage. If you prefer free parking, then you'll have to park behind the mini golf, and walk the 1/4 mile back to the shopping center. And let me tell you, this sucks in the summer. Pointe Orlando is a nice place to spend a day shopping, eating and generally having fun. But beware, it is right next to the convention center and sea world, so you will definitely run into tourists, and if this bothers you then you should stay away. Otherwise, it's a great spot. Overall 8.9/10 Super Shopping! read more

It has been about a year since I had been to Pointe Orlando. This time, parking was much easier and there were several new restaurants that I want to try. Overall it's a nice location, I just wish it had more of a nightlife and a reason to want to hop from place to place. Then it would be top notch. read more

Came here on a Friday afternoon. Place was pretty dead, but I think thats beacuse the majority of the businesse are restaurants and bars. Variety of shops was ok, not great, but def nice to walk around outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. read more

Came very underwhelmed. Felt almost like a ghost town having only seen at most 10 other people the couple hours I was there. The entire second floor is closed besides one restaurant that served one person, and is awkwardly surrounded by other closed restaurants. The places being closed is very misleading as most places have all the lights and electricity on but don't indicate as to why the place isn't open. Some advisories stating that specific places have been closed since March 18 was appreciated, but others were simply just locked or mandated a mask. Other places weren't even locked, and it made the place look like it was outright abandoned. The fact that I had to pay parking by the hour just to walk around and only find a few stores open in a massive ghost-town-esque shopping center was unappealing and I don't recommend anyone visit until they open up at least 10% of this place and advertise it as such. read more

Shopping malls are both my best friend and worst enemy. What girl doesn't love clothes, shopping and everything related? However, I get very frustrated very easily especially with the stores in this shopping area...to name a few, Abercrombie, Victoria Secret and Banana Republic. Aside from being relatively pricey at times, the sizes always get on my nerves. I do love the variety in shops though and looking at what each store has to offer. The reason I feel this place is my enemy at times...the parking and the tourists. I don't believe in paying for parking, at least not when going to a shopping mall. The good thing is, if you go to see a movie or eat at one of the restaurants you can get validated which means you don't have to pay. As for the tourists, the summer is the worst time of year. Nothing against visitors, but it's frustrating trying to move around and push through crowds. Plus, everything seems more expensive here than any place else in town...I blame the tourists for this. The structure itself is pretty cool and much more intriguing than the standard indoors shopping mall, especially since they've remodeled, updated and added newer shops and restaurants. Maggiano's is pretty tasty, although I'm not a fan of Italian and I hear that Capital Grille is quite amazing...I've yet to go there though. Overall, not bad, but not a place that I venture out to often. read more

Pointe Orlando is yet another one of those tourist friendly shopping/dining/nightlife areas to grace central Florida with it's presence. The one thing that usually attracts me to this area is their mammoth IMAX theater. This theater is worth a visit to Pointe Orlando alone. It is a little bit more expensive than a regular movie, but the experience is definitely worth it. There are also some decent stores in the area such as Banana Republic, Tommy Bahama, and Victoria Secret. The list of dining areas is even more expansive. It is extremely easy to spend an entire day/evening at Pointe Orlando, and I would definitely recommend checking out one of the better outdoor shopping areas in Orlando. read more

Right in the heart of tourist country here in Orlando lies Point Orlando, a huge shopping, dining, movie-plex conglomerate with a little something for everyone. There are plenty of stores for the shopper in us all. Boutiques as well as some chains, most of the upper scale variety. But I love Point for the unique restaurants. Taverna Opa is a real treat, where else can you dance on your table the Ompa after enjoying a tasty meal? Tommy Bahama's is also a great concept restaurant that gives you the feeling of really being out on a luxurious island with its tropical decor. And for the movie lover there is a huge movie theater here as well. You're sure to find something to keep you busy at this outdoor mall. read more

We only found this shopping center because we had originally planned to eat at one of the restaurants that happened to be located in there. We arrived at the mall and to my surprise it seemed so empty. Although it was a Sunday night, I figured that the place would at least have more activity considering that it's located off of I-Drive, which happens to have a plethora of tourists. The mall is clean and well maintained though. They did have a few stores that were pretty decent. We walked by the movie theater & it was closed (we had finished dinner and were walking back to the car around 8PM, so it wasn't that late). I wish they'd put more stuff here, this shopping center is in such a great location so it has a lot of potential! read more

I'm not sure why this mall isn't more successful. It's ideally located across the street from the Orange County Convention Center, adjacent to a number of large hotels and within close proximity of Sea World, Disney and Universal right on I-Drive. Even more, its anchored by a giant upside-down building that - if nothing else - is at least eye-catching. There are a couple of great restaurants clustered together including Capital Grille, Tommy Bahama and Cuba Libre with valet parking. But what I noticed after my great meal wandering around the mall is the urban blight that seems more pervasive than stores. There are more store sites boarded up than ones that are open. Apart from a Johnny Rockets, a newsstand, a shockingly empty movie theater and a Sunglasses Hut, there was no window shopping to be had. If you're looking for a decent meal in the gastronomic desert that is Orlando, look to Pointe Orlando and some of its dining and bars as an option. But if you're looking to stroll along a mall and shop for some stuff, look elsewhere. read more

Pointe Orlando is a place I enjoy coming to. That being said, there are some minor issues that you may not enjoy. I can't say that there are a lot of reasons to come here. The amount of stores are not very many. The restaurants are few, and pricey. (This place mainly aims to attract tourists.) The parking garage is a little hard to park in, and the ticket system is not my favorite. (Some places here don't stamp your ticket, so always ask them, beforehand!) However, I really enjoy coming to the Regal theater here. It's just quite a trek for a movie. If you were nearby, and walked here, I think you may have a decent time. You just have to keep your expectations low, and have an easy going mindset. read more

Once the sun goes down this place turns into a dodgy nightclub district with drunk people being inappropriate all over the facility. The place this most reminds me of is Las Vegas but not the good new Las Vegas, I'm talking old run-down cheap Freemont district Las Vegas. Don't take your children, they'll end up seeing things neither you nor they want explained. Orlando has so many family-friendly areas and attractions there are plenty of better places to go. As if that isn't enough there are no parking rates posted anywhere in the parkade - you have no idea what you'll pay until it's time to leave - could be $3, could be $10, no idea how it's calculated or what the rates are - it's a great metaphor for the whole place after dark: you don't know exactly what you'll get but you're sure to lose. read more

Loved the atmosphere. Take a taxi as parking appears to be tight to get in and out of. Eat at Lafayette. Awesome! Just stroll the walkways if you'd like. Great way to work up an hunger! read more

Pointe Orlando is the cool place to be on international drive. They have everything you need all in this little mall. Great choices to eat, movies, games, even a comedy club. A lot of cool options to drink as well. If you are in the area then this is the place to be to enjoy your night out. Make sure to get your parking validated so you don't have to pay. read more

Family friendly, fun for all ages! Great restaurants and easy access. A must see while in Orlando.

Place is a hidde Gem, has so much to offer but never seems busy. Need to explore this area more

The real downfall of this place is the parking garage. Parking really should be free. I think you'd bring in a lot more traffic. Not that the parking garage isn't busy enough. I always get stuck in the darn thing and feel like I have to wait in a huge line every time to get out. Not cool. Luckily, some of the places will give you a voucher. Just make sure to hit the pay station before you leave. No more booths at the end with an attendant. read more

WORST PARKING GARAGE EVER!!! You circle around and around trying to find the way out because the exit signs either arent clearly marked or they dont exist at all. The signs send you in circles and dont tell tell you which way to go when you get to the end of the row. We went to Opa for dinner and were told they validated parking. I got to the parking exit and they only provided a $1 discount on the parking. The spaces are tiny and its almost impossible to park without being confident you will end up with door dings. I'd advise to use the valet, which is not free and no one validates, but at least you dont have the frustration of that garage! read more

I have only been here a couple times, never of course in Summer, or any time it may be rife with tourists. Today I ran there around 5:30 to go get some lotion at Bath and Body Works. I noticed something. WHERE are all the people? The place was dead...There should be Happy Hours going on....something!! Everywhere was empty. In fact, I never actually saw a non employee in my entire 35 minutes or so there. Weird. Beautiful Mall though, with lots of good stores, and restaurants... read more

We love coming here! From the movies to Tommy Bahamas, everything is amazing. They even have the ice bar here.

Nice outdoor shopping featuring all the usual suspects..Victoria Secret, Banana Republic, Footlocker..ect. It also has several restaurants, bars and clubs attached. A huge IMAX theater sits right in the middle. Great place to eat, shop and party if you are staying near the Convention Center. read more

I did not get the chance to visit any of the establishments when I visited but from what I've seen in the area. I'd say its worth checking out. Years ago, this place was a joke. Now they have a lot of restaurants and places to visit. Once I get a chance to visit a few places, I'll definitely add a follow up to this. Since they have renovated the area and added a few establishments, restaurants and rebuilt the theater, this place gets busy at night and has a lot to do. If you're in the area, definitely stop by and check it out. There are many places to visit and see at Pointe Orlando. read more

There are a few standout restaurants here (Capital Grill, Tommy Bahama's, Maggianos) and the IMAX screen at their movie theater, but the rest is just lame. I can remember a time when this place first opened, and they seemed to draw in some high end retailers, and had a really cool arcade. Those days are gone, and it now seems to be a deserted wasteland. Sure there are a few shops, but nothing you couldn't find anywhere else. My main beef with the place aside from the above, circles around the parking garage. What was once just an average parking garage, has now fallen to a place i truly loathe. Gone are the attendants who process your validated parking stub when you leave, replaced by machines that seem to only be located in out of the way places. You are directed to go to them to place your validated ticket into them, where it stamps that you paid. Many would not know to do this, because signage is not obvious anywhere. This leads to a huge bottleneck of cars trying to leave, and having to deal with this backwards pay system as they exit. I've had my ticket get demagnetized, which leads to a whole lot of waiting. To top it all off, they have so much of this garage blocked off for non-existent valet parking (like the entire 2nd floor it seems), that it truly make for one horrible experience. I have honestly had to wait 10 minutes or more just to find a parking space, as so many cars move slowly hoping others will pull out, and it is too narrow to go around them. To have to pay for it on top of that would just be insult to injury. It seems that in their effort to streamline things, they have taken three steps backwards. read more

The place is starting to fall apart. We came with an elderly person and the garage elevators were not working. You could go up but not down. That is a blatant ADA violation. We struggled to finally help him out of the garage. We got in and the escalators were broken. Elevators were in a far corner that were meant for utility not people and was eerie going down. Many shops have closed down and it was dead on a weekend. Not a big fan of this place. read more

Businesses continue to leave, and the parking situation gets worse. On our last trip to see a movie, there was an awful jam to get out of the parking lot, caused by the pay parking scheme. It led to lots of reckless driving and road rage by frustrated people. I do not want to return. I like the IMAX theater but do not like the venue. read more

Honestly, it takes a lot for me to complain.........this was a horrible movie experience from start to finish! First, the 'arms' on the parking garage entrance were not functioning properly causing a line of at least 20 vehicles to try and back-up and merge into the one lane that was working! When an attendant finally showed up, we were told that the lane marked 'Valet Only' was for 'Employees Only'......... Well, then say 'employees only' because if I'm looking to valet park, I'd look for a sign that says 'valet only'! Then after coming into the theatre with 9 tickets having been previously purchased on Fandango, I put my CC in the kiosk to print out the tickets.......one printed and dropped then NO MORE PRINTED! The kiosk said 'see attendant due to malfunction'. When I approached a manager, he was obviously in no hurry and annoyed that I had an issue with HIS kiosk machine. He proceeded to print out my remaining tickets (accidentally adding the ticket that was previously printed by the kiosk), handed them to me with no words or apology for the hassle. I kind of snickered and said 'well, are you at least going to fix the kiosk machine'? He rudely replied, 'well, of course!' Ironic that he re-printed one of our tickets which I gave to my son's friend and said, 'Here, it's free' (since there was no apology or offer of compensation, I have no problem with an accidental FREE ticket ;) The IMAX auditorium, which we spent just short of $20 per ticket for, was the dirtiest, messiest theatre I've ever been in! Other instances occurred with the concession attendants due to their complacent attitudes but I don't think I have to give details for you to get the picture! Just don't go there, EVER!! Yuck! read more

The very first time I visited Orlando, we arrived in town (via bus) to discover that our hotel was not yet ready for us to check in, so we made a detour to Pointe Orlando to kill some time. I got some great shots of the giant Raggedy Ann doll in front of what used to be FAO Schwarz, but was a bit disappointed that the store itself was no longer open. However, a few friends and I grabbed lunch at Johnny Rockets where I became acquainted with the dancing waiters and ketchup art that I love so very much. Definitely recommended if you're in town and need somewhere to walk around, shop, and eat. read more

Not a lot of stores and even though its an open air mall they do not allow dogs. After I was there with my dog for at least 2 hours a security came and asked me to leave. Maybe that is why is empty. read more

I'm a CP. Haven't gotten to get in, you have to PAY TO PARK!!! don't even try to park across the street either, excuse they will tow your car! That is crazy and aggravating. read more

First time seeing pointe orlando and it's pretty dirty. It's a nice place to walk around but there's not much to do..

Pointe Orlando has a ways to go. We recently visited and had plans to dine and enjoy music at bbkings. We were not allowed on the 2nd floor for any venues. Very disappointing when you come a distance and nothing is posted on website regarding closure. read more

Except for some great restaurants, Capital Grille, Maggianos and others which I have not tried, I find it inconvenient and was charged $4. for parking even with a restaurant voucher. Not a good suggestions unless you want to visit some good restaurants. I would not go there to shop. I guess it's a good place for tourists who don't know any better. They also don't accommodate valet parking with a disability. read more

Conveniently located 10 minutes from the convention center, which made it easy to grab lunch/dinner after our conference. This area seems geared more toward adults (I didn't see too many families around). Lots of variety in food choices, diverse pick to choose from, although I think it can be a relatively expensive area to dine at, hence not a lot of families and more business people. We ate at Cuba De Libre which was very good and then walked around to explore the shops. Looked like most shops closed pretty early because we finished dinner around 8:30 and lots of shops were closed. There was one shop that sold "redneck wine glasses" which was a mason jar with a wine glass stem that I thought was funny. read more

There is not much to this mall. It is more like a food spot. There are limited store selection as well as entertainments. Parking is not free, by hour, but not that expensive though. read more
